From a hobbit house to a secret bunker: The best sheds of 2017

• http://newatlas.com, Adam Williams

The competition highlights the cream of the British shed scene and this year's finalists are made up of 32 weird, wacky, and ingenious sheds made by passionate hobbyists.

As we noted in our coverage of last year's competition, those not familiar with the British shed scene can think of it as a little similar to the tiny house movement. Where a tiny house ends and a shed begins isn't very clear, but sheds are usually stationary and not intended for full-time living.

Without further ado then, here's our selection of standout shed favorites. Be sure to head to the gallery to see each of the 32 finalists in full and we'll be back with the winner in a few months.

This self-built shed by Lincolnshire's Colin Furze – yep that Colin Furze – is playfully named the Colin Furze Secret Bunker. At first glance, it looks like a typical garden shed, with its four walls and roof storing tools, family bikes, and the like. However, hidden under a rug is a trapdoor that offers access to what Furze calls his man cave.
